Families Against Boredom has its first giveaway! I have one ticket to give to a FAB member for Modern Mama’s “Modern Bump Luncheon” this Sunday – Are you expecting? – know anyone who is expecting.. join FAB enter and winner will be announced tomorrow!

To enter: Join FAB then comment on what prize you would love to win (see Modern Mama Bump Luncheon link for list) and pick a number – I’ll then pull a name from a hat (old school style)

I have a Facebook group called Families Against Boredom (F.A.B) where I like to share Vancouver family events I think might be interesting. My goal for F.A.B is for everyone to have a comfortable place to ask for advice, give advice – a sense of community even if we live in different municipalities. Check it out and join in the conversation.

We are all new to parenting at one point. Regardless of the debate : living in the city vs. quieter suburbs or small towns. I say make the most of where you live. I’m lucky to be living in Vancouver. I can hike, sit at the beach, see great art, and music. I have access to elite classes or community courses for my daughter – wherever she ends up – I have access.

There’s so much in our own city to enjoy. Searching can be overwhelming. FAB takes a bit of the search out for you. And you have opinions from other parents… how good is that. Sometimes we don’t have time to read a whole blog review about an event or park. F.A.B is quick- as a parent you need quick.

Somedays all I have time for is a quick scan of my Facebook updates on my phone. I hope Families Against Boredom grows and more people add events they like, or upcoming festivals, great playgrounds. Please join and lets see where it leads you and me. Families Against Boredom
